2022 was a banner year for Harbor Shalom in many aspects of our vision:
• The strongest sector was definitely in the area of personal healing and deliverance ministry. Over the year, Doyle and Rebecca had the privilege of praying with individuals in 178 appointments.
• We provided instructions for consecrating properties to the Lord with two different homeowners and prayed with them to establish a spiritual canopy of protection.
• We also met with the fellowship at Christ Community Church of East Haddam for prayer and ministry 82 times during the year. It has been our joy to see the Thursday prayer group grow from four to thirteen over the year.
• We continue to fellowship with the New Britain Gatekeepers both as attendees and as hosts for the weekly meetings. Harbor Shalom was involved with 35 of those meetings.
• During the winter quarter we taught the Birthright of Freedom Bible study on generational issues at Christ Community Church, in person and online. The classes are recorded and available for viewing on the church website.
• Harbor Shalom Board of Directors met for seven meetings, providing significant oversight, accountability and encouragement.
• We hosted many visitors and family dinner guests: 75. ... Click here to read more: https://www.harborshalom.org/2022-annual-report/

I have been considering starting a small group in our home. The focus will be Bible study/house church. I know folks who are discouraged with church, the door is open to you! It is important to get together and search out the Scriptures together. If you are interested in this let me know. We will figure out the best time for this gathering.

Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?

This is one I can honestly say I have never seen circulating so; if this touches you, you may want to forward it.

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this....

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed separate from the grave clothes. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!' Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see.. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Was that important? Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it...

The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now, if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.

The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done.'

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because........... The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'

He is Coming Back!

So; if this touches you, you may want to forward it. And praise the name of Jesus!
